10N28 - Weldcraft 10N28 TIG Collet Body 1/8" (3.2mm) - 5 Pack

Precision TIG Components for Professional Results

The Weldcraft 10N28 Collet Body is an essential consumable designed for the rigorous demands of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Engineered specifically for use with 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes, this component serves as the critical interface between the torch power cable and the electrode itself. By ensuring a tight mechanical fit when the back cap is engaged, the collet body facilitates efficient electrical conductivity, minimizing resistance and heat buildup within the torch head.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, the 10N28 offers superior thermal properties, allowing it to withstand the high temperatures associated with TIG welding without deforming or losing thread integrity. It is designed to fit standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of air-cooled and water-cooled setups. The internal geometry is optimized to guide the collet for secure electrode clamping while also providing a pathway for shielding gas to flow into the ceramic nozzle, ensuring proper coverage of the weld pool.

Regular replacement of collet bodies is recommended to maintain arc stability and weld quality. Over time, thermal cycling can cause distortion that affects the gas flow pattern or the electrical connection to the tungsten. This pack of five ensures that professional fabricators and industrial maintenance teams have immediate access to high-quality replacement parts, reducing downtime and maintaining the high standards required for precision welding applications.
